{ I was going to do things here but I had surgery on Wednesday and underestimated how much typing and holding a laptop would actually hurt :’( I’m going to put the revival of this blog on hold for a few days until my shoulder and abdomen stop hurting quite so much, but like this post for a random starter to be posted hopefully early next week/this weekend! )

Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact will get you results. Influence will spread the passion you have for your work to inspire your crew.

Commander Khoza stormed into the transporter room with fists clenched at his sides as the lithe form of his Captain rematerialised on the transporter pad. She had been reckless, deciding to take a shuttle down to an "abandoned" Klingon outpost, and it was only thanks to the Transporter Chief's fast calculations that she was on board the ship, and not floating in pieces with the debris of the shuttlepod. Ordering everyone else to leave the room, he crossed his arms over his chest and slowly walked so that he stood towering over her.

      “---- What the hell do you think you were doing out there? You could have gotten yourself killed.”

     He nodded, familiar with several classes of Passenger ships similar to the Hamilton in size. He could certainly agree with the counselor on that note; his ship was a beauty. Sleek and small, but well equipped and unique in design. Equipped to the brim with the latest technologies, on par with – or in some cases, ahead of – the Enterprise in terms of scientific research equipment and navigational systems. The expression on her face softened Phil’s features slightly, and he almost regretted his earlier coldness towards the woman. Almost. There was a certain level of professionalism required when interacting with members of the lower ranks, something that he had found officers under the command of James T Kirk often had little experience with, no thanks to the man’s rather lax approach to enforcing regulation. A Captain was supposed to be on the top of the food chain, and it wasn’t considered appropriate for one in such a position to fraternise with the likes of ensigns and lieutenants, let alone yeomen and crewmen. While the Counselor wasn’t quite as far down on the command hierarchy, Kirk’s influence had often spread so far that officers sometimes did not know how to correctly and respectfully approach and communicate with their superiors once they’d left their post aboard the Enterprise — as had been the case with all four of the other transfers they’d received that day.

                  “I certainly hope so. You’ll be welcome here, as long as you stay out of trouble and work to an appropriate standard.”

        “Not much you need to know. The schematics are all available from the ship’s database, if you find yourself lost. A month is correct. In terms of ‘quirks’, there aren’t many, only minor problems that Engineering is attempting to fix – such as the temperature control on Deck 9; every night between 2300 and 0400 hours, the temperature drops to 4 degrees centigrade, but no one will tell me why.”

He turned the corner, leading her towards Medical. His intention had been to direct the counselor to her quarters, but having expressed a desire to ‘save them for later’, so to speak, Philani could see no point against taking her to the Med Bay to set up any equipment she might need and organise her work roster with the CMO.

“Our Chief Medical Officer will let you know when your assistance will be required in Medical, but as far as I understand it, you are free to book appointments between 0900 and 1700 hours, and are on-call for psychological emergencies at all other times. Given the size of our crew complement, I doubt the frequency of those occurrences, and can assure you that you will have sufficient personal time. There is a storage cupboard set aside for you, and Doctor Parvati is willing to sacrifice a corner of her Med Bay for your consultations.”

“No, I haven’t been on a Miranda class ship but when I was younger, about eleven years old, I spent time on a ship just slightly smaller then this. Passenger ship only, really. It’s the transport I used to get to Betazed. It was what really got my career started in Starfleet. Beautiful ships like this.” she was looking around with admiration clear in her expression, a wonder that had never quite left her bubbling to the surface. She loved ships. She loved space. “Sorry you had to wait for me. Us coming aboard is probably an inconvenience for you but we’re all very hard workers and good at our jobs. We won’t get in your way.”

“Philani Khoza.” she tried his name out, nodding when she said it correctly. “All right Commander, lead the way and I’ll start getting myself set up. I won’t need my quarters until much later tonight probably but if you just give me the information later I’ll be able to find it. I’m eager to actually get to work and start meeting my fellow crew members. Is there anything I need to know about the ship? I know it’s new to you too, about a month?, but every ship has her quirks.”

           “Duly noted, sir. I’ll beam a small team aboard promptly. Khoza out.”

      With a nod to the tactical officer that indicated the Lieutenant had the conn, Phil left the bridge and gathered two ensigns from the science division before leading the group to the transporter room. 

              “----- Three to beam to the Enterprise, Crewman Soloman.”

The transporter room on the Enterprise was, like most of the Constitution class ship’s facilities, significantly larger than the corresponding room aboard the Hamilton. The Commander stepped off the pad with a nod to the transporter chief. 

              ‶ I have in fact, on Earth. You               have a  wonderful   Captain  and               I’m sure she’ll be out in no time               flat. As for our missions, well. A               little too much space, if you ask               me. ″   The smile   he offers  is  a               little forced, humored.          ‶ How about I get your party            aboard and we can discuss the data          then, Commander. I’ll see you in          the transporter room. ″
